ABSTRACT

The public and private institutions of our country do not have a computer system that

allows assessment of the sustainability of the profiles and business plans that arise,

provided important today to ensure sustainability.

The objective of this project was to evaluate the feasibility of developing and using a

computer system with mobile devices, for the formulation and evaluation of production

projects under the focus of sustainability and regulations of the National System of

Public Investment

For obtaining the indicators, employment MESMIS methodology, where it was

determined the 20 indicators that were used to build the system. The computer projectSYSPROJECT (v.1.0.0), both the mobile and the web have been created with the

software development methodology called Rational Unified Process (RUP), object-

oriented, using the life cycle evolutionary prototype taking as tools for programming

and development to PHP, MySQL, Android, SQLite, eclipse and java.

The purpose of this project was to develop a computer integrated both mobile and web,

that serves as a tool for management, audit, control, and documentation of business

plans and profiles of productive projects.

Keywords: computer system, phone system, project evaluation, sustainability

1. INTRODUCTIONAll of this new century societies have a great "problem socioeconomic-environmental"

over consumption of increasingly scarce resources to meet the growing needs of

humanity. The resources we provide the environment are limited, which is why issues

related to administration, distribution and limits their availability, as well as the

damages they cause, say pollution and reducing the diversity among species as primary

target, so that the desire to achieve economic development that benefits current

generations do not erode the capacity of future generations and achieve achieve truly

sustainable development.

The study and evaluation of investment projects is one of the edges that solves theproblem of allocating scarce resources. In this regard, it is vital currently evaluating

investment projects not only from the standpoint of economic and financial, but also

measure their social and environmental impact, to achieve truly sustainable

development.

The present research aims to use ICT for agriculture, by developing a computer system

with mobile devices for evaluating sustainable development and production projects

Objective

Evaluate the feasibility of developing and using a computer system with mobile devices,

for the formulation and evaluation of productive projects under the sustainability

approach and the regulations of the National System of Public Investment

Specific Objectives

Evaluate the feasibility of Automating the process of formulation and evaluationof development projects a computer system, giving quality to information via

mobile devices

Compare the analysis of the economic, social and environmental impact of theprojects using the conventional method and the automated method, in terms of

time, efficiency and quality of information for the development of productive

projects

Unit of Analysis and Sample:

Contained areas for the development of this research. Consisted of the town of Huapra,

belonging to the district of San Miguel de Aco, Carhuaz Province, Ancash Department.

The study group, consisted of 180 inhabitants according to INEI, which will be taken as

reference for the development and validation of the sustainability indicators

METHODSThe research was conducted in two phases in the period from January to September

2012

PHASE I

IMPLEMENTATION OF THE METHOD FOR DETERMINING MESMIS

SUSTAINABILITY INDICATORS

As a methodological tool was used Assessment Framework Systems incorporating

NRM Sustainability Indicators (MESMIS) proposed by Masera et al. (1999). This tool

has been used in several assessments, such as those presented Ridaura Masera and

Lpez (2000), for different regions of Mexico.

The MESMIS incorporate six general elements: 1) determination of the object, 2)

identifying critical point, 3) selection of sustainability indicators, 4) editing andmonitoring (data collection in the field), 5) presentation and integration of results and 6)

conclusions and recommendations.

Step 1. Determining the object

The unit of analysis of this study it was the family system interrelated with the

community, in this sense, the farms were characterized on the socio-economic-

environmental.

.

Step 2. Critical for sustainability attributes

According MESMIS (Masera et al., 1999) identified management systems studied,

compared to the next step was to identify critical points in each of these systems

Table No. 2. Main weaknesses (hot spots) that affect the sustainability of the reference

management system, related to the sustainability attributes

Atributo Principales debilidades del sistema

Productivity Low productivity of maize, potato and wheat

High cost of production, mainly because of the chemicals and fuels,

low prices and low aftermarket option.

Inferior quality corn, potatoes and wheat due to improper handling ofharvest and post-harvest

Stability,

Resilience and

Reliability

Monoculture corn, potatoes and wheat

Pest and disease damage, mainly dry dry, and rust blight the crops of

corn, potatoes and wheat.

Erosion problems, with loss of water and soil fertility

Improper management of fertility, nutrition of maize, potato and

wheat

Improper use of pesticides, generating social and environmental

problems

Lack of farmer participation in associations

Adaptability Low level of application and / or limited availability of agricultural

technologies based on the principles of sustainability

Equity Requirement as many family wages

Little integration into the productive process and decision-making

Self-Management

Weaknesses in the accompaniment of productive activities

High production costs due to the use of external resources

Buying off-farm food

Step 3. Selecting sustainability indicators

Were those that best fit to the problem detected and easier to evaluate and monitor the

conditions Huapra community that will be evaluated Huapra community.

Step 4. Methods for measuring and monitoring the indicators

This stage includes the design of assessment tools to obtain the desired information. For

each indicator selected should proceed to determine the most appropriate measurementmechanism.

Step 5 - Presentation and integration of results

This phase included the design of assessment instruments to obtain the desired

information.

Step 6 - Conclusions and recommendations

Finally, in this step was the synthesis of the analysis and proposed suggestions and

measures to strengthen the sustainability of the systems

PHASE IICOMPUTER SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT WITH metologa RUP

For the development of the computer system (Web and mobile), we used the life cycle

evolutionary prototype, and the methodology to be used will be the Rational Unified

Process (RUP), which includes the following phases:

I. Business Modeling

II. Requirements

III. Analysis and Design

IV. Implementation

V. Testing

VI. Implantation

Configuration and change management

Project Management

Environment

Implementation of computer system

We refer in this section specifically for the construction of the system.

The methodology proposes a progressive construction based on successive prototypes.

Depending on the situation you plan implementation through construction of these

prototypes, each of which will build on the previous prototype.
